My mother was diagnosed in Russia with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer stage 4. The doctors' actions were not credible, so we turned to Bookimed for the selection of a clinic and a doctor. We were offered a Park-Klinik Weißensee, Dr. Ursula Makowiec. Mom passed a 3-day examination in the hospital, in a separate ward. Friendly atmosphere, professionalism, respect for the elderly patient - all this allowed us to relax, not to try to control every step of the medical staff, to read the articles on the Internet. I was sure that we made the right choice. And most importantly - the diagnosis was not confirmed! My mother was not breast cancer with metastases, but a sweat cancer in the armpit without any signs of metastases, the prognosis is much more favorable. The doctor told us - you came here with a fatal diagnosis, but you came out as a healthy person! We plan to be observed further in this clinic with this doctor. I would also like to thank the translator Marina Wernke. She was not only an excellent professional, but also a very pleasant conversationalist, we were very comfortable with her. I also want to thank the curators who helped a lot all the time while mom was in the clinic.

FAQ about Brain Cyst Treatment in Germany

What do foreign clinics offer for the treatment of brain cysts?

  • Precise and maximally safe operations on the brain

Surgeons in large neurosurgical centers specialize in endoscopy of a brain cyst – the neoplasm is removed through 1-2 punctures in the skull bone up to 1 cm in size. This reduces the duration of the operation from 3 hours to 30 minutes and minimizes the risks associated with open intervention. After the procedure, the patient is discharged the next day. To perform an operation to remove a brain cyst, neurosurgeons use special medical microscopes and navigation systems. They allow you to see all the features of the brain and track the location of surgical instruments.

  • Treatment by top neurosurgeons and neurologists

The treatment of brain cysts is carried out by highly qualified specialists with many years of experience and a large number of successful operations. Such doctors undergo training and advanced training in the best clinics in the world, develop new methods, and exchange experience with foreign colleagues. Some of them are included in the world and national rankings of the best specialists in their field. Thanks to this qualification, a neurosurgeon can successfully perform the most complex interventions.

Bookimed has collected the best clinics for the treatment of brain cysts around the world. They are presented in the rating, which is formed on the basis of feedback from our patients.

Interested in one of them? Or do you want to know more about the methods used and the organization of the trip?

Request a callback using the form on the website. At a convenient time for you, a Bookimed medical coordinator will contact you. He will tell you how a brain cyst can be treated in your case, how much the operation costs in different countries and clinics, what are the prices for non-surgical treatment, which medical center best suits your wishes and possibilities.

Our care department will assist you with travel arrangements, ticket purchases and hotel reservations.

Some clinics provide airport transfer, translation services. Whether this is included in the price at the medical center of your choice, you need to clarify additionally. If you have any questions, you can contact the Bookimed medical coordinator.

The patient pays for all services at the clinic's cash desk.

Bookimed services are free.

During your stay abroad and after returning home, the Bookimed medical coordinator remains in touch with you.

What are the methods for diagnosing a brain cyst?

To make an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment method, foreign doctors carry out:

  • neurological examination to assess the general health of the patient, the functioning of the nervous system;
  • a blood test that will identify possible disorders in the functioning of organs, infections or inflammatory processes;
  • CT or MRI to determine the size and location of the cyst in the brain, the type of tissue it is made of.

Based on the results of this examination, the doctor may prescribe additional diagnostics, which includes:

  • angiography of the vessels of the brain to determine how close the cyst is to the vessels, and whether they are damaged;
  • lumbar puncture for suspected infection of the central nervous system;
  • a biopsy of the cyst to clarify the type of cells of which it consists.

What are the methods of removing a brain cyst?

Surgery is the main treatment for brain cysts. It is indicated if the neoplasm is large and disrupts brain function. The type of operation is chosen by the doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the patient's health and his examination results. To reduce or remove the cyst, neurosurgeons perform the following interventions :

Shunting (drainage) of a brain cyst

Brain cyst shunting is a neurosurgical procedure during which the doctor inserts a special shunt into the neoplasm. Through it, fluid from the cyst is gradually excreted into the abdominal cavity. The operation allows you to reduce the size of the neoplasm and its pressure on the brain tissue. It is indicated for the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid (arachnoid) and colloid cysts of the brain.

Fenestration of a cyst in the brain

This is a surgical opening of a cyst in the brain that allows fluid to drain and avoid the complications associated with a shunt. During the intervention, the neurosurgeon creates one or more holes in the shell of the neoplasm, which are connected to the circulation pathways of the cerebrospinal fluid. Due to this, the cyst gradually decreases.

In order for the operation to be as safe as possible, the doctor uses neuronavigation. This system allows you to track the location of surgical instruments and minimizes the risk of damage to healthy brain tissue.

Laser cyst removal

During this operation, the neurosurgeon performs a thin puncture in the skull bone. Through it, a small electrode is brought to the cyst, which acts on the tissues of the neoplasm with a dosed flow of light energy. It dissolves cyst tissue and cauterizes small blood vessels to prevent bleeding. The doctor removes the resulting liquid with a special tube.

Open and endoscopic removal of a brain cyst

For open surgery, a neurosurgeon temporarily removes part of the cranial bone. This allows excision of large or hard-to-reach neoplasms, but this procedure requires a long recovery and is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. In foreign clinics, open intervention is carried out in extreme cases, when other treatment is impossible. In order to reduce the risk of complications, doctors use special neurosurgical microscopes and neuronavigation systems. The patient can return to normal life in 10-14 days.

Endoscopic removal of a brain cyst is performed by surgeons through 1-2 thin punctures up to 1 cm in size in the skull bone. This allows you to maximize the preservation of healthy brain tissue and eliminate the risks associated with open surgery. In some cases, the patient can leave the clinic the very next day after the operation.

Is it possible to remove a brain cyst through the nose?

An operation to remove a cyst in the head through the nose is possible only for small neoplasms that are located in certain areas of the brain. Such an intervention requires high qualification and experience of a neurosurgeon, therefore it is not performed in every clinic.

Brain cyst removal: prices

The cost of removing a brain cyst depends on:

  • the chosen surgical technique;
  • general health of patients;
  • selected countries and clinics.

The cost of the operation in your particular case can be provided by the Bookimed coordinating doctor. To do this, you need to provide us with your medical records and test results. The coordinator will send them to the neurosurgeon at the clinic of your choice. You will receive a preliminary treatment plan and its exact cost. If something does not fit, the coordinating physician will continue to select the best solution.

Is it possible to treat a brain cyst without surgery?

To treat a brain cyst without surgery, doctors use drug therapy. It allows you to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and postpone the surgical intervention. The doctor selects drugs based on the age, general health of the patient and the manifestations of the disease.

It is important to know! Medical therapy cannot replace surgical treatment. If the cyst grows rapidly and disrupts the functioning of the body, the doctor prescribes an operation.

What is the difference between the treatment of brain cysts in children and adults?

For the treatment of brain cysts in children, doctors perform the same interventions as for the treatment of adults. At the same time, it is important that the child is operated on by a pediatric neurosurgeon in a specially equipped operating room. During the intervention, he must use computer monitoring to track the location of the instruments and the actions performed as accurately as possible.

Highly qualified pediatric neurosurgeons can perform brain cyst removal even in newborns. However, such an intervention is carried out only if the neoplasm grows rapidly and threatens the development or life of a small patient.
